A message from the new BDA President

This year's British Dental Conference and Exhibition was our biggest ever. The feedback from members and other attendees has been excellent and our friends in the dental trade and our corporate partners were delighted with the success of the exhibition and the associated fringe and seminar programme.

Going round meeting and talking to delegates, exhibitors and speakers there was a genuine sense of a vibrant successful event and of a profession looking to the future with confidence.

The BDA Events team, supplemented for conference by many other BDA staff, worked flat out to ensure a seamless event. It was a great team effort by BDA staff and officers.

As both Chair of the Events Working Group and as the incoming president, I could not have wished for a better event in which to step down from the former position and to step up to the latter. I would like to thank all concerned; our hard working staff and of course our speakers, sponsors and exhibitors whose continued support enables us to stage such an enjoyable and rewarding event. John Craig
